Network Audio Player Yamaha NP-S2000 silver

Overview

The NP-S2000 is part of the prestigious S2000 series of competition products, which includes the A-S2000 and CD-S2000. It is derived from the latter, and incorporates most of its electronic boards including the DAC conversion and output stages, but without the mechanics and power supply, resulting in a more compact format.

Easy to configure, simply connect it to an Internet router to which your computer(s) and a NAS (network storage) will be connected for a complete setup, and launch the Yamaha Network Player Search configuration software which finds and allows remote control of the NP-S2000.

What the press says

As a network player, the Yamaha NP-S2000 reveals impressive qualities of precision and transparency that are very difficult to reproduce on a conventional CD player of equivalent price, considering that many people will not listen to 320 kbps MP3s.
